Patch 4.3.2 will mark the first official patch release of World of Warcraft in the year 2012, while the patch addresses the usual issues it fixes a lot of bugs and as usual helps making the game a better place for the players, while the patch does add something other players may not like there are also some changes which people will be glad to see.

Considering how World of Warcraft is still one of the best pay to play MMORPG’s in today’s market despite it losing subscriber the game is still sticking by it’s pay to play principle in order to maintain a good quality player base, while many free to play MMORPGs are available they are easily over run by hackers and freebies who ruin the game for everyone else and that’s what makes World of Warcraft truly amazing.

While Star Wars: The Old Republic could be the next big thing in MMORPG but only time will tell whether it will have what it takes to dethrone World of Warcraft from the high horse it has been on for a VERY long time now, Could ToR succeed where many others have failed? let’s wait and see.

Below are the patch notes for patch 4.3.2, while the release date has not been announced yet but it should be implemented shortly considering the changes aren’t those many:

The first World of Warcraft: Cataclysm patch of the year is in development and now available for testing on the Public Test Realms. This minor patch includes several updates that we were unable to apply via hotfixes, including the recently announced cross-realm raids, assorted class balance fixes, and more. If you’d like to help us test out this patch and provide feedback, you can start by copying your character over to a test realm. Once you’ve had a chance to try things out, be sure to visit our Public Test Realm forum to discuss the patch.
